Would this not be taking the power away from god, and indeed an insult to him in making his decisions for him?

They enjoy the erroneous feeling of superiority they feel when they tell us we are going to hell.

Nobody knows for sure the spiritual status of another. Until you walk in someones shoes you don't know WHY they do what they do. And the "why" part is what makers it a sin or not. In many places in the bible it states not to judge or you will be judged. It is unfortunate that this slips the mind of some Christians. (Whose to presume to know the mind of god anyway ?)

No way! It is not our job to judge others! Only God knows a persons true heart and whether or not they accepted Jesus as their Savior. ALL have sinned and falls short of the glory of God. Eccl 7:20. So, those judging are sinners too! There are tons of Bible verses about judging including "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and "judge not lest ye be judged."

No. Christians are called to spread the gospel- as stated in Matthew 28; 18-20. It is the will of God to do His work. I think alot of christians get offened or feel like they are being rejected when someonme says no to God, when in fact they are turning their back on the messenger.

Why does your avatar look so sad? Where's Pangel with a hug? Anyway, yes, it is wrong for a Christian to say you are going to hell, but if asked if a sinner will go to hell, we must say yes; that's what the Bible says. But the Lord is the one making the final judgment calls. Shouldn't matter what a Christian says; what matters is between man and God.

No, I don't believe it's at all right for someone to presume that X person is going to Y (usually negative) afterlife. It's highly rude and presumptuous.

Only God knows the final destination of anyone's souls. When people say others are going to Hell, they are just... saying it. They don't know, don't have the inside track on what God sees in your heart. He is the Judge, no one else.

Nobody is destinated to nothing, if you want heaven you have to earn heaven, by obeying the Lord teachings, whoever thinks that just for being a Christian he or she is already saved that person has a big need of repentance.

In the Bible, God said that Jesus is "the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to God except through Christ." If a person does not claim to know Christ, I think we can make a logical assumption that their afterlife destination is not going to be heaven. It seems to me that NOT believing what God has told us, is more of an insult to Him.

We cannot take power from God, nor do we make His decisions.
We all have to hope for mercy so to assume another is unworthy of mercy is like the guy in the glass house throwing stones.
